Chapter 4

The horseshoe galloped farther and farther away from the hustle and bustle of the capital city of Nanhua. The prosperity of the prosperous age was fleeting. In the blink of an eye, he came to a dense forest on the outskirts of the city.

"Guo'er, come down and drink some water." Chu Ao licked his lips, "I'm so thirsty."

"Huh?" Lin Zhong thoughtfully, slowly tightened the tight rope, and made the horse stop with a "wow", "After running all the way, it's time to come down and drink the horse."

Chu Ao almost fell off the horse, begging for water by himself, it was thanks to the horse.

Leading the horse to the stream, Chu Ao squatted down, took a handful of clear water with his hands, and ran towards Lin Zhong excitedly, "Guoer, drink water."

Seeing the expectant look on this man's face, Lin Zhong didn't appreciate it at all, "I can drink it myself." After that, he walked to the stream alone, knelt down and scooped up water with his hands to quench his thirst.Chu Ao who was behind curled his lips, drank the water in his hand in one gulp, and came to the side of the stream again, drinking one handful after another like a competition, and deliberately picked up a lot of water splashes, which splashed Lin Zhong's clothes.Lin Zhong hurriedly stood up, but unexpectedly stepped on a slippery pebble and fell into the stream.

"Hahahaha—" Chu Ao laughed loudly, "You really know how to drink water!"

Sitting half-sitting in the water in embarrassment, Lin Zhong's face was flushed with anger, and suddenly he made up his mind, and pulled Chu Ao who was laughing hard, with a "plop", Chu Ao also became a dog in the water.

"Guo'er! You bastard!" Chu Ao immediately dragged down Lin Zhong who was about to get up and go ashore.The two of them huddled together in the creek, splashing water everywhere, and getting soaked from top to bottom.

Finally, Chu Ao begged for mercy, and Lin Zhong let go of the arms that were clasped around his neck.

Standing up and coming out of the water, Chu Ao muttered in a low voice: "I wouldn't lose if I didn't see you as the prince..."

"Would you like to go back and have a drink?" Lin Zhong shot over with two cold lights.

"No, no, no." Chu Ao immediately smiled, and hurried away from him.

The two took off their outer shirts, wrung out the water vigorously, spread them on the lawn, and waited to dry.Lin Zhong was lying on a piece of grass, looking at a cloud hanging long in the blue sky, thinking about what the concubine mother was doing now, whether he was thinking about himself again, and didn't know what it was like to worry.Chu Ao ran up and down on the grass barefooted heartlessly, bouncing up and down by a butterfly, and shouted while running: "Guo'er, come and help me!" , This butterfly is so beautiful!"

Pretending not to hear, Lin Zhong hastily closed his eyes.

Chu Ao suddenly exclaimed, "Where's the horse!" Lin Zhong quickly sat up, and sure enough, he didn't bother to look at the horse after a fight, and it disappeared!

The two of them lost all mood at once, and hurriedly started looking for horses everywhere.Looking into the deep forest at a glance, Chu Ao shouted: "There is the horse!" Lin Zhong ran over and couldn't help being dumbfounded, who knows who put a basket of flowers and plants under the tree, and the horse was chewing happily.Just as he was about to take the horse away quickly, an old man shouted from behind: "My herbal medicine! Don't run away, little thief!" Followed by two tall and straight teenagers.

The dignified prince of Beili Kingdom was once again treated as a thief.

As soon as Lin Zhong's hand was grasped by the old man, Lin Zhong threw it away in a hurry. The old man staggered and fell to the ground. A young man immediately squatted down to support him, "Father! Are you okay?" Another young man grabbed him immediately. Lin Zhong's arm looked thin, but actually had some strength. Lin Zhong, who was guilty, was pinched back with his backhand, unable to use his strength, so he called out to Chu Ao anxiously.Chu Ao rushed over like flying, and rushed towards the boy's back. The boy squatting on the ground shouted loudly: "Zhuqing, watch out for your back!"

With a flash of dexterity, the young man let go of Lin Zhong. Chu Ao didn't have time to stop his movement, and threw himself on Lin Zhong, and the heads of the two touched each other firmly.

"Ouch!" Two big bumps bulged out of their heads at the same time.Lin Zhong was in pain, and Chu Ao grinned and rubbed his head. Seeing that Lin Zhong was knocked into a daze, he quickly crawled over, held Lin Zhong's head, and said distressedly, "Show me quickly. Didn't crash?"

"Go away..." Lin Zhong was in pain with tears in his eyes, and angrily pushed the people who came over all at once.

Zhu Qing looked at these two funny people coldly, stepped forward and helped the old man up with another boy, and said respectfully, "Sir, are you alright?"

"It's okay, these two little thieves stole such precious herbs from me, and they still want to leave and give me back the herbs!" The old man was so angry that his gray beard trembled.

"Hey! Old man, I said that you have no evidence, so why do you say that we stole your herbs?" Chu Ao put his hips on his hips, looking like a rascal, "If you rummage through us, where are your herbs? "

"Of course you don't have it on your body. Your horses have eaten all the herbs!" The other boy's pink face was full of anger.

"Forget it, Manman, don't talk nonsense with them, just tie him up and send him to the government." Zhu Qing had a serious face.

As soon as he heard that he was sent to the government, Chu Ao immediately softened and calmed down, "Forget it, what is there to discuss? Old man, how much are your herbs? We will pay for it!"

"How much is it? There are a few hundred-year-old ginseng. I dug them from a few hills. There is a herbal medicine that can cure my son's full cough. It only blooms once a year. How much do you think it can be exchanged for?" ?”

Realizing that he had said something wrong, Chu Ao immediately shut up.Lin Zhong got up from the ground, with an apologetic expression on his face, and said very sincerely: "I'm sorry, old man, we really didn't mean it, and the matter has come to this point, we only have some silver taels, a little apology, we are in a hurry, you see Can you let us go..." After finishing speaking, he signaled Chu Ao to bring the burden.

Chu Ao understood, brought the burden, turned his hands inside it, and suddenly stopped moving, staring at Lin Zhong fixedly.

"What's wrong?" Lin Zhong felt that something was wrong.

"The purse...is gone..." Chu Ao's eyes were full of despair.Thinking back to watching the hydrangea, there was a sea of ​​people, either squeezed out or stolen.Hey, sure enough, watching the excitement is to be punished!

"What!" Lin Zhong was surprised, how could this happen?Both of them were dumbfounded for a moment.

Suddenly, Chu Ao winked at Lin Zhong, and squinted at the horse beside him who was still eating happily.Lin Zhong understood and moved over there.Suddenly, Chu Ao turned over and jumped onto the horse's back, pulling Lin Zhong up, clamped the horse's stomach with both legs, and made a sound of "drive", and was about to run away, but unexpectedly the horse was so tall. Gao raised his front hoof, threw the two people far away at once, knelt down on the ground with his front legs, and snorted loudly.Before falling to the ground, Chu Ao used his elbow to protect the back of Lin Zhong's head. The elbow was slammed against a sharp stone, blood was gurgling, and Lin Zhong's heart trembled.

"It deserves it!" Zhu Qing sneered coldly.

On the contrary, it was the young man named Man Man who walked forward silently, knelt down and looked at Chu Ao's elbow, took a few grass stalks from the basket, put them in his mouth, chewed them carefully, and took them out again. Put it on top.

"Manman, there is no need to help them." Zhuqing looked displeased, but Manman ignored it, treated the wound carefully, stood up, and said to the old man: "Father, why don't you just forget it." Well, they didn't mean to."

"How can we forget it? They should be taught a lesson if they have found out their crimes and refused to mend their ways!" Zhu Qing insisted.

The old man frowned, sighed, and said slowly: "Let them find a few more hills and find some old ginseng. My old bones can't move anymore, you two People, I have been climbing the mountain for the past few days, and I am exhausted. There is no need to go out of the mountain, just pick bamboo shoots in the bamboo forest outside the private school."

These words were like a bolt from the blue, Lin Zhong hurriedly shouted: "No!"

"Then go to see the official." Zhu Qing held the injured Chu Ao, and Chu Ao grabbed the old man's leg with both hands, shouting: "Ancestor, we are really in a hurry! Please spare us."

"Unreasonable!" The old man pulled his leg out in a panic.

Without a guide, the horse lost its front hoof and was only wearing his inner shirt, so Lin Zhong couldn't get away either.The two of them were driven behind by Zhuqing with a small bamboo pole, and reluctantly followed the old man into the depths of the forest. Manman led the horse and walked beside Zhuqing. Lin Zhong and Chu Ao's clothes were still drying on the horse's back.

"You are disheveled in the forest, I really don't know what you are doing." Zhu Qing snorted softly, and Lin Zhong blushed up to his ears when he heard this.But Chu Ao didn't seem to hear it, and bumped his shoulder to the man who seemed to be talking.

"Young man, may I ask, what happened to our horse?"

Eyes full of lacquer, he smiled: "In my father's basket of herbs, there are freshly picked crotons. Of course, the horse's legs will be soft after eating it."

Sure enough, stealing food is also subject to retribution.

Walking forward, her full eyes were fixed on Chu Ao's waist, Zhu Qing's complexion became ugly, and her heroic sword eyebrows frowned.

"Manman, what are you looking at?"

"Butterfly." The slender fingers pointed to a slender grass stalk around Chu Ao's waist, which was tied in a knot and tied around the slender waist of a butterfly.

Lin Zhong looked at the full fingers, and couldn't help admiring that Chu Ao really had to catch him. Chu Ao, Chu Ao, you are so proficient in indecent things!

"Hey!" Zhu Qing approached Chu Ao, "Give me your butterfly."

"Why?" Chu Ao straightened his back all of a sudden, with an expression worthy of careful consideration.

"I'll help you pick ginseng. Just pick the bamboo shoots." They negotiated in a low voice, "Just don't let the husband know."

For Chu Ao, this was simply great news. He hurriedly untied the grass stem from his waist, handed it to Zhuqing, and smiled at Lin Zhongxi, "Guoer, we don't have to go up the mountain."

Lin Zhong looked at his dusty face that had fallen to the ground, and smiled at him so excitedly, as well as the injured elbow that was covered with herbs, and he couldn't speak harshly anymore.

"Manman, here you are!" Zhu Qing just handed the butterfly to Manman.

He smiled softly, with a hint of sweetness hanging from the corner of his mouth.Carefully pick up the butterfly, disassemble the grass stem, the butterfly flapped its wings a few times, and flew into the air.

"It's so beautiful, let it fly freely." The eyes were full of innocence.

Looking at the smiling face, Zhuqing's sword eyebrows and starry eyes suddenly softened.
